This same issue actually came up in a recent testing lunch, and we'll improve this usability problem soon. There's a new ViewScene control scheme, in addition to the "legacy" control scheme, that's probably easier to use on a trackpad, but it's not documented yet and hard to find. If you click the Configure button at the top of the ViewScene window, a dialog comes up. In the Controls tab, there is a combo box for choosing your control scheme.


"Legacy" should match up with SCIRun 4:
- Left-click drag / one-finger trackpad click & drag = Pan
- Right-click drag / two-finger trackpad click & drag = Zoom
- Option key + left-click / one-finger click & drag = Rotate
The last one, Rotate, appears to be broken now. It might work if you connect a mouse and use the "middle mouse button," but Macs don't usually support those anyway.

"New" mouse control matches ImageVis3D, and we encourage everyone to use this option:
- Left-click drag / one-finger trackpad click & drag = Rotate
- Right-click drag / two-finger drag = Pan
- Scroll-wheel / two-finger vertical swipe on a Mac trackpad = Zoom

We'll clean up these issues in an upcoming release.
Thanks,
Dan

Hello,

I guess I am missing something obvious, but the only thing I can do with the scirun 5 viewer is pan. I don’t seem to be able to zoom or rotate. I am using a mac laptop and am running scirun 5 version alpha-T. 

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter.
